Pads & Rotors
The usual job. Quality pads matched to your vehicle and how you drive it, with rotors turned or replaced as the measurement says.
Pads, rotors, calipers and fluid. We inspect them properly, tell you what is actually worn, and replace only what needs replacing — while the vehicle is already on the lift.
Brakes are the one system on your vehicle you never want a cheap answer on. Here is what we check and what we fit.

A sticking caliper eats a new pad in weeks and pulls the vehicle under braking. We check them before fitting anything.
Fluid absorbs water over time and boils under hard use, which is what gives you a soft pedal on a long hill.
Come in with a noise and we will tell you what it is. If the pads have life left, we will say so.
A truck that tows needs more brake than a commuter. We spec for how the vehicle is actually used.
Brakes are often done alongside tires or suspension. One visit, one lift, less labour than two trips.
Squealing, grinding, a soft pedal, a pull to one side, or just mileage. Each points somewhere different.
Pad thickness, rotor runout and thickness, calipers and fluid. You get told what we found.
Quoted before anything comes apart. Nothing gets replaced that you did not agree to.
Bedded in and road tested before it leaves. Most brake jobs are same-day.
That is metal on metal. The pad is gone and you are cutting into the rotor, which turns a cheap job into an expensive one.
Air, a fluid leak or a failing master cylinder. This is a safety issue, not a maintenance item.
Usually a sticking caliper. It also wrecks the tire on that corner.
Often the wear indicator doing its job. It is telling you the pads are near the end.
Typically rotor thickness variation. Caught early it can sometimes be machined instead of replaced.
Worth a free look, especially before a long trip or towing season.
It depends on the vehicle and whether it needs pads only or pads and rotors, plus whether a caliper is involved. We quote after we measure rather than posting a price. Call (817) 778-4800.
Grinding means act now. A high squeal when cold is usually the wear indicator telling you the pads are close. A soft or sinking pedal, or a pull to one side under braking, should be looked at straight away.
No. We measure them. If a rotor is above minimum thickness and running true it can often be machined or reused, and we will tell you when that is the case rather than selling you parts.
Most are same-day and many are a couple of hours per axle. If a caliper or line needs ordering we tell you before you leave the vehicle.
Yes, and it saves you labour and a second trip. The wheels are already off for a tire or suspension job, so it is the natural time to do it.
